I'll definitely be picking this one up as I felt it was just as good as the first one and that's uncommon when it comes to sequels.

Anyone know if it's coming with a slipcover?

Blu-Benny · 06-25-2011, 08:26 PM

love the 1st one, will get this one as well.

On point 1, I very very much agree, although I've found that it isn't as rare for sequels to be as good as the original as some say. Just my opinion. On point 2, I would think so considering DreamWorks animated films come with those blue and yellow bordered slips now. Like MegaMind, HTTYD and the re-releases on Panda, etc. So chances of a slip are high.

Don't see a reason to pre-order this early but I'll get this one day 1 for sure.

So we're getting a 3D release for Thor, but not Kung Fu Panda 2? I call foul, Paramount! What the deuce?! I will still be picking this up, just peeved.

hidef al · 06-25-2011, 10:29 PM

Day one purchase for me. Enjoyed KFP2 very much. I thought it was better than the first one. And most likely this release will have a SLIPCOVER!!!!

It's not Paramount's fault. It was a decision made by Dreamworks. There's an agreement to release Dreamworks films in 3D exclusively with Samsung 3DTVs.

Although, the exclusive window is only for a year or even less... so it's Dreamworks own decision to not wide-release Monsters and Aliens, Shrek 1-4, How To Train Your Dragon, Megamind, and Kung Fu Panda 2 in 3D. I think it's because the company wants more market saturation so that they can make the the most money at once.

I think this is stupid because several people buy their 3D movies from eBay(and not giving any profit to Dreamworks as a result) instead of from Samsung exclusive bundles. These are hundreds to thousands of customers who could be buying these films officially right now. But... Hollywood has always been stupid.

Same here day 1 for sure

I don't own a 3D display yet (hopefully upgrade to a 3D projector this year or next), but it still pisses me off that I can't buy films like this *once* on blu-ray... even if I pay a premium, for 3D right out of the gate. I can't stand double dipping for something that could (and should) have been sold to me the first time. Yes, Dreamworks, I'll pay more for your 3D version if that's what it takes, but sell it to me.

Sheesh!

Only 4 weeks to the supposed 10/11 release date with no official announcement, from everything I heard this is the release date, but I am waiting for a official word from Paramount to go ahead and pre-order this.

They just got around to announcing Transformers 3 and that comes out at the end of this month, so an announcement for this should come soon.

Well I should be expecting to hear a official announcement from paramount confirming the release date, because this site and dvdtalk.com have this slated for 10/11, but videoeta.com has this being released in November which will annoy me, because I was annoyed last year when i had to wait 7 months for Shrek Forever After to come from theaters to blu-ray

TMNTrent · 09-16-2011, 01:29 PM

The date for KFP 2 is now December 13.

They originally had it slated for 11/11, but then Potter came in and claimed that week, so Paramount pushed it back. Really looking forward to seeing this on Blu, didn't get to catch it at the theater.

arcadeforest · 09-18-2011, 12:48 AM

Missed this, looking forward to picking this up as I loved the first one.

Thought the response to the first film was way over blown. It was just barely nice but everything I keep reading says that Part 2 is all kinds of excellent.

I'm intrigued now. I didn't really get the critical response to Puss In Boots either. I just thought that one was okay.

Still, I guess I'm going to have to get this for the boys. My son wanted the first film on BD and I wouldn't let him have it because I wasn't too keen on the first film.

Might have to revisit.

so you didn't buy the first film for your son because you didn't like it? and if you didn't like the first, i don't see how you'll like this one.
